Summer is back and so is Beamo! This oversized flying disc is great for kids 5+. Beamo is made out of a nylon liner that glides across any backyard, beach, or park. It’s 30″ diameter gives Beamo a nice range of uses, including ring toss over little brother or sister. :) Trust me, if you show up to a birthday party rockin’ a Beamo, people will know because you’ll have the coolest gift at the party.

Summer is here and it’s time for those kiddos to be OUTSIDE! Right now through June we are selling all Melissa and Doug Sunny Patch items at 25% off. We have cool new sets this year and some classic Sunny Patch favorites too. Tracy from our Durham store says..

“I really like the bright and vibrant colors of the Sunny Patch stuff. They’re really creative and fun and the games are easy for young kids to play.”

The Sunny Patch line offers a great variety of toy styles including gardening, pool toys, outdoor games, kickballs, and tons of other fun stuff. Oh yeah, I almost forgot to mention, we have these sweet new chairs too!

Hurry in to any of our Learning Express locations in Raleigh, Durham, or Cary before this promotion ends! Thanks for choosing us as your local neighborhood toy store!

Move over Fall Out Boy, there are some real deal superheros in town. Lego has really outdone themselves this time. These new sets include all your favorite characters like Captain America, Hulk, Thor, Iron Man, and even Wolverine(note: Wolverine’s Lego claws are not made from real adamantium). This is definitely the Summer for superheros and Learning Express has the best sets including Wolverine’s Chopper, Captain America’s Avenging Cycle, and Hulk’s Helicarrier Breakout. After you hit the Avengers Movie up, swing by Learning Express to get one of these awesome sets!

(Spoiler Alert)

Our superhero team of buyers have used their “spidey-senses” to detect that new Batman Legos are shipping from Gotham soon! The Dark Knight rises this Summer, and we’ll be ready.

Take a look at one of the hottest toys this summer, the Kaos Tie-Not Battle Pump. If you’ve been in any of our stores in the last month you’ve probably seen the huge water bucket outside with this bad boy sitting next to it. This awesome water balloon pump not only fills the balloon with water, but it comes with a special device attached to it that helps you tie it off. That makes it so much easier for kids to do it themselves, and easier on parents who have to tie 500 water balloons for their kid’s birthday party. Check out this list of benefits…

* Holds 1 gallon of water

* Can fill and tie a balloon in under 10 seconds

* Comes with 250 biodegradable water balloons

* Can be personalized

* Is the preferred method of water balloon pumping for all superheros.

(The last comment may or may not be true, no superheros were available for comment.)

This really is one of the coolest toys this summer. Come on by and try it out for yourself, we love water balloon fights. I mean, that’s just part of Summer right? Thanks for shopping with us, see you soon!
